The Amy Gillett Pathway is a family-friendly cycling, walking and horse riding trail that runs 22km through the Adelaide Hills. Running north-south through fertile valleys from Oakbank to Birdwood, it offers country vistas, historic townships and wineries along the way. The Pathway is on a dedicated, sealed bitumen track that follows the course of an old railway line and offers a gentle gradient suitable for families, novice riders and walkers. The bikeway can be accessed at many points, with facilities acessible in townships. Beginning at Oakbank, it passes through Woodside, Charleston and Mount Torrens, before concluding at Birdwood. The pathway is named after Amy Gillett, a member of the Australian women's cycling team who was tragically killed while training in Germany in 2005. The pathway was built to encourage people to enjoy cycling and, importantly, to do so in perfect safety. Though loved by locals as a pleasant, traffic-free way to get between townships, the Pathway is increasingly enjoyed by visitors as a way to immerse themselves in rural landscapes, indulge in cool climate wineries and sample the laid-back lifestyle of farming communities in the Adelaide Hills.
